Chapter 2

The next morning I'm awoken by the sun streaming through the porch sliding door window, I kick off the blanket and stretch.

"Morning." I hear someone say, I turn my head towards the kitchen and I see Jc- shirtless.

I quickly cover my eyes, "Why don't you have a shirt on?" "Because this is how I sleep, may I remind you a live here?" "Right, right"

I'm try not to sound too snobby, I keep my eyes on the floor when he asks me "Are you hungry?"

I shake my head even though I'm starving, I don't want to pester him or his roomies (I think) more than I already have. My stomach growls and I wince, "Yes you are" he calls to me.

"No-" I look him straight in the eye "-I'm not". He rolls his eyes and throw me an apple, "Eat."

I throw it back, "No". He throws it to me again, "Yes". I throw it back, "No".

This continues for about 5 minutes before Ricky (I think) comes in right before I can throw it back to Jc, "What are you guys doing?"

I hide the apple behind my back and blush, "Nothing."

Jc smirks and says "I was just giving her breakfast", I throw the apple to Ricky. "I'm not hungry." I say innocently, Ricky shrugs and eats it himself.

Jc shoots me daggers and I laugh, this day should be interesting...

"So..-" Connor starts as I stare blankly at a wall "-what's up?" "Well considering I have no clothes, no family, and nothing to brush my hair with- I would say I'm not too peachy"

Connor chuckles and replies "I'll take you shopping later." "What?! No, no." "Unless you want to wear one of our clothes-" "Ok fine, fine. But after I get a job I'll pay you back, ok?" "Deal."

After Connor's dressed we head to the car, I open the front seat door and Jc is sitting in the seat. "You're coming too?" "Duh, I need some new shirts"

I shrug and hop in the back and we drive off.

"So... where did you use to live?" Jc asks me turning around in his seat.

"I'd rather not talking about my second life."

Jc and Connor start bursting into laughter, "What did I say exactly?"

"Our Second Life is our youtube name." "How ironic" I say in a "teenager" accent.

They laugh again, "We should keep her" Connor says to Jc.

Jc falls silent, this is awkward. For the rest of the ride the car is silent.

We pull into a shopping center and we all hop out, I spot the store "Pink" and I immediately run into the store.

I run right to the perfume and start to spray it all over me, I haven't taken a shower in 2 days and I probably smell like a liter box.

"Tori-" I hear Jc hack and cough as I spray more perfume "-what- *cough* -the hell are you doing?!"

"Spraying perfume-" I place a pink bottle back on the stand "-duh."

"Well I kinda knew that, seeing now you smell like Mother Nature" Jc smirks- and then coughs again.

"Well, I need some sweats and some br-" "Ok, ok! Just get whatever and hurry up." he growls in annoyance.

"Touchie, in a hurry?" I press on, grabbing some bras and sweat- and maybe a few bottles of perfume.

We ring up my stuff, using Jc's card, and then we're out the door (with Jc's encouragement of course).

"Why were you guys you in Pink?" Connor asks us when we meet him at the car, I can tell he's trying his hardest not to laugh.

"Tori ran off and I had to get her." Jc shrugs, he makes me sound like a dog.

"Well anyone up for lunch?" Connor asks us.

"Yeah-" I say "-lunch sounds great"
